Assist with yard material deliveries and returns as required. Provide training and mentorship to Forklift Operator Levels I, II, and III on safe unloading, lifting, and storage practices. Support production fulfillment activities, including delivery of longer LVLs and other materials for the floor and ceiling departments. Perform “rescue and recovery” operations on the production floor as needed, ensuring safety protocols are followed during crane or modular lifting support activities. Maintain a clean, organized, and hazard-free work area in compliance with company safety standards. Requirements Proven experience operating an LPG forklift with a 5,000–10,000 lb. lifting capacity. Strong commitment to safe operating procedures and situational awareness. High level of attention to detail and organizational ability.
